Watch a reply later in the night. Crap game to watch, at least I could skip forward often. Hawks wanted it more and were better positioned and more pressure across the field. But if we could get those set shots it would have been different. Hawks dominated the contest in the middle and we never seemed to get any fluency on movement or support. Plus its getting hard to watch an empty venue.

That was the best one :)

Shocking for tipping, Was sitting comfortably in 2nd but people have made up 4 points in 1 round! nipping at the heels now.

Roo's in a good position now.

ripper game in Perth, go roo's

Saints still have a massive task to get into the 8 simply based upon percentage. Those games have really cost them a solid run at the 8.

Looks like they are home

Where was the sling tack on Jone's?

Really don't talk about any players getting injured especially our own. Don't want to jinx us.

Saints are up and about at the moment.

Is it kick a point day.... gee poor start again.

Competitive start by blues, better if they could kick straight. Hawks - I guess they just heard their coach has been sacked, it does affect players, as they start thinking of what Mitchell wants and not Clarkson...

On the cats outs yes, but on structure/system no. Hopefully the blues and swans get up this week.

Because its the midfield... if they don't fire the ball doesn't get to the forwards....as for the GF, done by the final system of the time. Missed opportunity

Correct, We have a system and the players to implement it to beat any side. Now it's all about concentration. Its does not take a big drop off to see teams challenge us. Looking at this season, mentally we are ready for top 8 sides, part of team seems to drop off against bottom 8 sides. Yesterday we almost overran them, that last quarter we were in control and fitter but couldn't buy goal. Lots of attempts including shots that missed (Short or wide). It shows the team can pressure when they switch on.

The ground suits Sydney style of play more than WC, but they have been woeful. getting old and too many injuries.

No, they are just learning that you need 100% concentration and focus to sustain success.

Tried to win by waiting to the last. Controlled it for most of the quarter but could not buy a goal. Some really poor decisions, while I don't blame hunt for the loss, gee. kick it earlier. Too many fumbles and lack of intense pressure around the ball for most of the game... Fortunately there is always next week, but we need a solid fwd target. Looks like BBB is the only option. Time to find out.

Salem, at last!

Wow the waltzed it out of defence through the centre, very lazy

No pressure.... easy marks from their defenders.

GWS running better to position around packs at the moment

didn't matter last week when they had the same opportunity

I agree, as it takes a whole club/playing list to win a GF, not just the 22 on the field.

Been bloody woeful so far in defence, players standing by themselves... Good goal by Gawn.
